[0022] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present application. The illustrations only show the components related to the present application rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component can be changed at will, and the component layout type may also be more complicated.
[0023] The specific implementation methods of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Embodiment 1:
[0025] The present application embodiment discloses an anti-theft sleeve faucet, referring to Figure 1 As shown, it includes a faucet body 1, and a valve stem 11 for driving the ball core to rotate is provided on the faucet body 1 to control the water outlet of the faucet. The above can refer to the principle of the existing faucet. Based on this structure, it is necessary to improve this structure. In order to realize the control of the operation of the valve stem 11, a lock key is detachably connected to the valve stem 11 of the faucet body 1. In this embodiment, the lock key is a switch handle 2. The switch handle 2 and the valve stem 11 are assembled by plugging up and down in a polygonal groove. The polygonal groove is a regular quadrilateral or hexagon, etc. In this way, the switch handle 2 is plugged into the valve stem 11. The shape of the valve stem 11 is adapted to the polygonal groove to complete the plug-in and disassembly. The switch handle 2 is twisted to open or close the faucet. A lock hole 21 is provided on the switch handle 2. Through this lock hole 21, a chain can be matched to lock the switch handle 2 on the door or window or on the railing to prevent it from being used by others.
[0026] On the other hand, in order to facilitate the connection of a hose to the faucet body 1, a washing machine hose connector 5 or other hose ports can be connected, and the following structure is used for assembly.
[0027] The water outlet 12 of the faucet body 1 is provided with a first thread 13, on which the first nut sleeve 3, the second nut sleeve 4 or the hose connector 5 are matched, and the hose connector 5 is provided with a second thread 51 which is the same as the first thread 13, and the second thread 51 can be assembled with the first nut sleeve 3 or the second nut sleeve 4.
[0028] In this way, the hose can be directly sleeved on the hose connector 5, and then the hose connector 5 is fixed on the faucet body 1. Alternatively, the first nut sleeve 3 or the second nut sleeve 4 can be sleeved on the hose connector 5.
[0029] Embodiment 2:
[0030] Based on the above embodiment 1, the difference is in the matching drive of the valve stem 11. In this embodiment, the valve stem 11 is driven by the lock core assembly 8. The lock core assembly 8 is driven by the key 7. The details are as follows:
[0031] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lock key includes a key 7 and a lock core assembly 8. The faucet body 1 is provided with an installation groove for assembling the lock core assembly 8. The lock core assembly 8 includes a stator inner shell 81, a stator outer shell 82, a rotor shell 83, a lock tongue piece 84 and an elastic member 85. The stator inner shell 81 and the stator outer shell 82 are mutually sleeved and fixedly installed on the faucet body 1. The rotor shell 83 is plugged and assembled with multiple lock tongues through the elastic member 85. Lock grooves 71 are provided on both sides of the key 7. The lock groove 71 is provided with a lock pattern 72. The key 7 is inserted into the rotor shell 83 and contacts the lock tongue piece 84. When the lock pattern 72 and all the lock tongue pieces 84 are adapted, the outer end of the lock tongue piece 84 is flush with the outer wall of the rotor shell 83 to realize the simultaneous rotation of the rotor shell 83 and the lock tongue piece 84 on the stator inner shell 81. One end of the rotor shell 83 is fixedly connected to the valve stem 11 to realize the water discharge of the faucet.
[0032] exist Figure 5 The elastic member 85 shown may be a spring, a tower spring or other elastic springs, etc. The elastic member 85 is used to maintain the initial state of the lock bolt 84, that is, when no key 7 is inserted, the lock bolt 84 is in an extended state, so that the rotor housing 83 and the stator inner housing 81 are stuck and cannot rotate, thereby failing to drive the valve core to rotate.
[0033] The end of the rotor housing 83 is provided with a latch hole 831, and the valve stem 11 and the rotor housing 83 are fixed by a latch through the latch hole 831. This latch assembly method is simple and convenient, and is easy to assemble.
[0034] In order to make the structure more solid and reliable, the stator inner shell 81 and the stator outer shell 82 are fixed to each other by means of latches or screws, so that the stator inner shell 81 is convenient to be assembled in the mounting groove of the faucet body 1 and the stator inner shell 81 is protected.
[0035] In this solution, when it is needed, the key 7 is inserted and then turned. At this time, the lock pattern 72 (tooth pattern) on the key 7 and the lock tongue piece 84 are in contact with each other, so that the position of the lock tongue piece 84 is adjusted to be just right. Then the lock tongue piece 84 can be in the rotor shell 83. At this time, the rotor shell 83 can be rotated, thereby driving the valve stem 11 to rotate, so that the valve stem 11 can open or close the ball valve and realize the water switch operation.
[0036] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or change the above embodiments without violating the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
